(Read Spider Robinson’s introduction lo the man else­ where in the program book.) Policies & Other Good Things to Know 1. In case of emergency contact any committee member or call room 114 (committee head­ quarters . 2. Anyone carrying an alcoholic beverage in the hotel lobby or public function areas that was not purchased from the hotel is endangering the hotel's liquor license and may be subject to arrest. Please do not visit these areas while carrying open beer or wine bottles. 3. Please do not bring glass containers of any sort into the pool area. We are allowed use of the pool past its usual operating hours. Treat it nicely. 4. Hotel check-out time on Sunday has been extended to 5 P»m. A Word To The Wise The legal age for drinking alcohol in the state of Minnesota is 19 years old. It is illegal to serve alcohol to anyone under that age. Other lawful psychoactive substances include caffeine, tobacco, and sugar. The Minicon committee will not condone any use of illegal substances. Con Suite What can we say about the consulte? It's in room 2022, the McKnight Suite. For all you fishy people, there's also a consuite-by-the-pool . Check the schedule for hours. 4 Weapons Policy Our weapons policy remains unchanged from last year. 1. Edged weapons are allowed but must be handled re­ sponsibly. Irresponsible handling of any weapon is dangerous and may be grounds for ejection from the convention. 2. No real-looking guns. The plexiglass, light-emitting "zap guns" generally do not "look real" to us. 3. Lasers are permitted if they belong to Class one or Class two as defined by the Bureau of Radiological Heal th. 4. In order to avoid disturbing our cetacean members, no Nukes J11 Peace-bonding, as practiced by the Society for Creative Anachronists, is recommended for edged weapons. It is the practice of tying a blade into the sheath with twine or a ribbon. This prevents others from drawing your blade and reduces the temptation to draw it your­ self in locations and situations where it is not appro­ priate. (Remember, "If you kill it, you eat it.") 5 Artshow & Auctions Operating I ns truet ions: 1- Come in. Look around. Enjoy. Buy things. 2. Oh, you want to know how to buy things. All right. A) Each piece of art has a Bid Sheet attached to it, with room for your name and bid to be written on it. Write your name and bid on it. Make sure your bid is at least as much as the minimum bid of the artwork. (Remember, a written bid is a contract to buy the art — unless you are out-bid, the art is yoursl Please don't bid on anything unless you intend to pay for it.) B) If you real 1y want the art, and don’t want to take the chance of somebody out-bidding you (horrors!), there is often a Quick Sale Price listed on the Bid Sheet. Pay that, and the art is yours (that is, if nobody has already bid on it, in which case you have it out in the Auction). Auctions and How They Work: 1. Any piece of art which receives two or more written bids is declared Fine Art, and goes to the Voice Auction. The first person to recognize the work’s sterling qualities and bid on it has the honor of choosing which Auction it will be sold in. A) If you don’t tell us which Auction you want the art in, we’ll tell you, 2. If no one else has the good taste to recognize the obvious value of a work of art on which you’ve bid, and yours is the only bid at the time of the specified Auction, the piece is yours for the written bid. 6 Do’s and Do Not Do's: Things you do: Ogle; Drool (at a discreet distance from the artwork); Spend lots of money; Bring friends; Have them spend money, too; Curb young children. Things you don't: Smoke; Bring cameras or large bags into the Artshow (we can watch them for you at the front table); Handle the Artwork; Buy Artwork for minimum bid after the last Auction. ****FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY!**** Can you walk? Can you write legibly and fairly quickly? Do you have an overwhelming need to get up in front of large groups of people? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re just the person we’re looking for. Come be a Runner at the Art Auction! We'll even provide instruction at no extra charge. Apply at the Art Show during open hours, Friday or Saturday. (Please, we prefer people at least 1^ years old.) Art Show and Auction times are: Fri day 1 PM 5 PM (check-in and set-up only) 5 PM 8 PM Saturday 10 AM 7 PM 11 PM ? (Auction) Sunday 10 AM 11 AM 12 Noon - ? (Auction) Special thanks to Rusty Heyel in, who is running this year's art auctions. Pro Guest of Honor: Larry Niven by Don Bailey I first met Larry Niven at Minicon 7 in 1973. (You remember 3973, the year we’re going to hold a worldcon?) I remember a pleasant, brown-haired man who seemed to be having a good time. Shortly after­ wards, I began reading his works (I RS take note: SF cons really are a business expense), and soon declared him to be my favorite writer. Anyone who would name a planet "We-made-it" is my kind of person. In 1976, I had an opportunity to move to California and observe Larry in his native habitat. I found him to be a quiet man who enjoys sharing interesting ideas with people. I also found him to be a very good poker pl ayer. If you have never read anything by Larry Niven, you have a lot of good reading ahead. From the spec­ tacle of Ringworld to the predicaments of Svetz the time traveller, Larry consistantly creates plausible cultures, creatures, and contraptions. Even his magicians seem too realistic to be considered "fan­ tasy." Larry’s sense of humor tends toward logical in­ congruities, word play, and writing people into stories. His novel, The Flying Sorcerers, co-written with David Gerrold, is great fun for any long-time SF reader because of the many author references in a plot which has a modern, scientific, space traveller encounter a primitive society and a very jealous wi tchdoctor. 8 continued page 10 RING WORLD... THE MOTE IN GOD’S EYE... LUCIFER’S HAMMER... DREAM PARK... RINGWORLD ENGINEERS... NOW THE FATE OF THE WORLD HANGS BY A THREAD— THE K DESCENT .g LARRY NIVEN & STEVEN RARNES SL ®TOR ISBN: 48-542-5 WE RE PART OF THE FUTURE. Larry Niven continued One of Larry’s more remarkable talents is his ability to collaborate with others. It takes a special blend of assertiveness and attention to coordinate such efforts without a lot of friction. To date, Larry has co-authored seven different novels, the latest being Oath of Fealty, with Jerry Pournelle, and Descent of Anansi, with Steve Barnes. Some writers use the same character types repeat­ edly, and their personality comes through quite strongly. With Larry, it’s not so obvious.

About a year and a half lat- er, we started working on what would eventually become our biggest release, Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves From Minneapolis/St. Paul 1964-1979. What follows is our attempt to share with you some of the amazing stories, history, and photos that have been so gracious- ly shared with us during the course of producing a compilation of soulful tunes from our hometown. ..... R&B, soul, and funk music in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota went through dra- matic changes during the 1960s and 1970s. Predating these changes, a vibrant jazz scene beginning in the 1920s laid the groundwork with several players being instrumental in helping teach young local R&B mu- sicians how to play. However, many of the early R&B pioneers, including Mojo Buford, Maurice McKin- nies, and Willie Walker, came to Minnesota from other states and brought the music with them.

  • The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon
    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways www.RestonHerndonFolkClub.com Volume 29, Issue 10 August 2013 SPECIAL ARTICLE – “SPIDER” JOHN KOERNER – see page 2 for details August 13 Showcase – Frazier By Frazier with Dan Grove Frazier has been singing and playing music since childhood. From the "Minisingers" in Washington state - Tumbling Tumbleweeds, to church choirs, to the Navy's choir. He sang tenor, if you can believe it, he says in his now baritone announcer’s voice. From voice-overs to folk music to heavy rock and roll, he's done it all. Well, not all - no rap, hip hop, or heavy country/bluegrass. For the past 30+ years he sang and played in a trio and a duo, which both fizzled out due to family and distance issues. So for the first time in... well, too many years to elaborate on, he's doing the solo thing. It's the first time he's choosing songs based on his voice, and not the harmony potential. He's missing the harmony, but enjoying the attention. His musical influences are the Beatles, Beach Boys, Everly Brothers, Simon & “Funkle,” and Alice in Chains - basically musicians and groups with a great harmony component, reflecting his earlier collaborative performing. He has several originals, and says he’s “deciding how many to make you suffer through.” Frazier has lived in the DC metro area for about 50 years (he went to Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville). He mostly accompanies himself on guitar, but has a couple of songs on the keyboard.

    Music DVD Review: Koerner, Ray, & Glover Blues, Rags & Hollers: T... http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/03/211002.php Blogcritics is an online magazine, a community of writers and readers from around the globe. Publisher: Eric Olsen REVIEW Music DVD Review: Koerner, Ray, & Glover Blues, Rags & Hollers: The Koerner, Ray & Glover Story Written by Richard Marcus Published August 03, 2007 Part of Blues Bash In the early 1960's American pop music underwent its first roots revival with the sudden upsurge in popularity for folk music. Young performers from all over the country came to realize what their idols, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and a handful of others had learned long ago; there wasn't anything quite as effective as a guitar and a song for communicating a message. It was Joan Baez who brought a skinny guy from Minnesota named Bob Dylan to the Newport Folk Festival in 1963 and national attention. But he was just the tip of the iceberg in the folk revival. Rambling Jack Elliot, Utah Phillips, Phil Ochs, Richard & Mimi Farina, and countless others brought guitars, voices and idealism to American popular culture. Primarily they all were building on the traditions of the music that had come over with immigrants from the British Isles who modified songs from the old country to fit their new circumstances. "Pretty Saro, "Barbara Allen," "Two Sisters," and others all took on the distinctive sound of the Ozarks and Tennessee to form the backbone of Country and Folk music. Even though 1963 was the time of the Freedom Riders, young white men and women heading down South in support of Black civil rights activities, there was far less interest expressed by the folk movement for the other major vein of music waiting to be tapped.

  • Ron Thompson Remembered
    TGGBS Newsletter March 2020__#8 TGGBS President’s Message: As I peruse the Bay Area looking for interesting places to listen to blues, I luckily received an invitation from singers Earnestine Barze and Wanda Diamond. They brought me to two old school classics in Oakland: Eli’s Mile High Club on MLK Boulevard and Everette and Jones’s Q’s Lounge on Broadway. Earnestine was jam leader for the Monday Night Blues Jam series at Eli’s and told me “get there around 6” to get good parking close by. A fabulously skilled band backed awesome singers all night at Eli’s, including stalwart regulars, Fillmore Slim, who performed his new CD “Sons of The Seven Sisters.” Ninety plus years YOUNG Nat Bolden, who duets with powerhouse singer Sharon Davis, was also there--the real deal here folks. Earnestine is a very special entertainer, with a hot wardrobe and a voice unique in the way she uses phrasing. She sent goosebumps throughout the crowd, letting us know we were hearing the BLUES. Wanda Diamond was sitting in with The Caravan who host at Q’s every Saturday night. Parking is handy at the garage over Yoshi’s. The BBQ there is awesome, and the only grease is on the stage. Ribs, links, beans and cornbread along with great voices all night tell me we are well taken care of in the Bay Area with venues worthy of the most jaded tourists and locals alike. Treat yourself to these two historic gems. Everett & Jones Barbeque will have a plaque on Oakland’s Walk of Fame.

  • A History of the Triangle Bar Building 1822 Riverside Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota
    A HISTORY OF THE TRIANGLE BAR BUILDING 1822 RIVERSIDE AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA PREPARED FOR GREATER TWIN CITIES BLUES MUSIC SOCIETY PREPARED BY PENNY A. PETERSEN AND CHARLENE K. ROISE HESS, ROISE AND COMPANY THE FOSTER HOUSE 100 NORTH FIRST STREET MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55401 NOVEMBER 2010 1872 On October 16, Riverside Avenue is opened for traffic. Running southeast from the intersection of Cedar Avenue and South Fourth Street, it is a rare diagonal in the city grid, which is primarily oriented to the cardinal points. Riverside cuts through a number of blocks before reaching its southeastern terminus at Franklin Avenue, creating some triangular blocks on either side of the new avenue.1 1876 A horse-powered streetcar line that had ended at Washington and Nineteenth Avenues South is extended to Riverside Avenue and follows it for several blocks. Access to public transportation makes the corner at Cedar and Riverside more attractive for commercial development.2 1883 Block 179, in the Town of Minneapolis, which had been split by Riverside Avenue, is further altered when owners Louis and Julia Meldal and Reinert and Annie B. Sunde replat it as Meldal and Sunde‘s Subdivision of Block 179. Originally, composed of ten lots, the replatted block now has 38 lots. This same year, the Meldals deed a dozen lots in the new subdivision to the Sundes, including Lot 38, the future site of the Triangle Bar.3 Like many in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, Louis Meldal and Reinert Sunde are Scandinavian immigrants. Sunde was born around 1842 in Norway and immigrated to the United States as a young man.

  • PAY YOUR DUES at the UNION a History of the Union
    , August 27, 1981 Sweet Potato Advertisement from PAY YOUR DUES AT THE UNION A History of the Union Bar Prepared for Prepared by Minnesota Blues Society Penny A. Petersen Charlene K. Roise December 2015 Hess, Roise and Company The Foster House 100 North First Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 Note: The building that housed the Union Bar is located at the intersection of East Hennepin and Central Avenues Northeast. Both street names are used interchangeably in primary sources that refer to this site, but the address of the Union Bar is most commonly 507 East Hennepin. For the sake of consistency, this account will use East Hennepin for the building numbered 505–507 and Central Avenue Northeast for the building numbered 509–513, even though the name “East Hennepin” was not adopted until 1913. 1852 James Sargent Lane, age nineteen, settles in Saint Anthony. There, he joins his older brothers Silas and Isaac, who had arrived in 1848. The brothers work in the lumber business.1 The Lane brothers were born in New Brunswick, Canada, although both their parents are natives of Maine. Their father, Silas Nowell Lane, a veteran of the War of 1812 and a lumberman, moved to Canada, continuing to harvest the pine forest across a national border.2 1855 The Lane brothers are joined in Saint Anthony by their parents, Silas and Velona (or Velma in some sources), and younger brother, Leonidas.3 1856 By this year, the entire family lives on a parcel of land at the corners of Fifth Street, Bay Street (present-day East Hennepin), and Mill Street (present-day Central Avenue Northeast).
